Haha...Thanks Mel! So before we left New Zealand I taught Mel how to post those pictures cause I couldnt be bothered having them all emailed to me and sorting through them to post. I didn't know if she'd get around to posting them but she did! haha. Seriously that night was SO fun! Rhett and I wouldn't get very scared so we would just act like we were... and then we would kind of get scared... We scared the girls more than the people who worked theredid. Its like Knotts Scarey Farm but way worse because its mostly Islanders that work there and they are scarey and they have no rules about touching you. So they would grab your neck, and legs and stuff...oh man, it was awesome. We lost our voices from screaming so loud. One guy with the chainsaw chased Rhett and Mel down some forest path and when I caught up to them Mel was running so fast and was so scared she tripped and fell into the trees! Haha, it was hilarious. Real midgets chained up and dressed like clowns and everything. The real deal! Thanks again guys! We had a blast!

A Haunted Playground....

Prior to the boyz leaving NZ, we (mel and shonnie) wanted to give them a thrilling farewell - so we took them to "SPOOKERS" a haunted playground - perfect for the boyz!; their were screams, a heck of a lot of running, a fun night for all.

LOP BURI

Imagine yourself walking down a normal city in Asia. Flea markets, buses, trash, and people everywhere. Wild dogs roaming the streets and all of a sudden you see something out of the corner of your eye. You think its a bird up on a street sign, but when you look, its a monkey! All of a sudden your eyes wander and you see hundreds of monkeys all over the streets, the signs, the buildings....EVERYWHERE! Haha, well, thats Lop Buri. Given the name "Monkey City" known world wide, this dirty little monkey infested town brings in thousands of tourists each year. This year it brought us. It was so rad! These cute little monkeys everywhere just waiting to pick your pocket. Every seen the movie Monkey Trouble? Well they ain't lying. If you let those monkeys on your back for a second they'll have their hands in your pockets and around your neck shyst'n whatever they can get their hands on! The only thing is supposedly some of these monkeys are infected with rabies, so one bite and you're off getting a very unpleasant shot. I think that makes most of the tourist keep their distance from them. I guess they don't bite... but if they do, its their aggresion because of the rabies so you better watch out!




The van ride from Bangkok. Two and a half hours... 3 bucks each.








The pride and joy of Lop Buri






This guy would jump off the wall onto my backpack then jump back to the wall. Then I'd move a little further and he'd jump again. Then a little further, and further... It was sweet







They seriously are everywhere








You can only see three in the picture, but I had 5 monkeys on me! I was just praying I didn't get bit! haha





When you get too many on you you just start spinning really fast and they jump off! Thats what I had to do. They stole a tooth brush out of the side pocket!! haha It was Kevin's bag... Sorry man... Oh ya, the guy behind me had two on him and was freakin out so bad he didn't realize they stole his necklace and sunglasses! Haha, it was so funny. Some Thai guy was chasing the little theif trying to get the glasses back. I saw him the next day in Bangkok and he had his glasses!













The ruins in the city are pretty cool too...







This is like the central where all the monkeys hang out and people come and feed them and stuff....









One almost bit Kevin earlier so it was a little sketchy. The bigger ones are more violent...

Bowling and Bangkok

You can't really tell in the picture, but the ceiling was like a few inches above our heads... Kind of funny how small they are here.







We went bowling with the YSA in Bangkok. This was my team. We sucked. Half of them had never bowled before. Rhett won the tournament bowling like a 145...






Downtown Bangkok








Thai Lunch. A plate of like sweet and sour chicken is like 70 cents... And its SO good







Break'n in Thailand. They got nothing on you John.
